Family by blood but not from feeling

Some pain doesn’t show on the outside, but it stays in the heart.

In families, sibling jokes may seem normal, but sometimes they hurt when repeated again and again. You try to laugh, but inside it still feels heavy.

When you speak up, you hear “It’s just a joke,” so you stay quiet and smile outside.

The truth is, words from strangers don’t hurt as much… but words from your own family stay deep, because they are supposed to make you feel safe—not broken.

This is all waht I experience in my life other say don't overact but tahts something taht hurt I cry alone my friends teacher outsider see smile on my face but that not real there is pain I carry but even my family can't understand

I am sorry you have experienced this @brightLake5661 ✨

May I kindly suggest that you express it? I’ve experienced it before and it hurts so much!! So I think it is important that we express what we feel and when they say; “oh it is just a joke” we reply: “well it didn’t sound to me as such” or any words that you want to use…

Dont keep it inside of you - being vulnerable is being strong too

Sending good vibes ✨
